12.21.14 The Solstice - Why, even we would have bargained for day's return

Photo: No, it didn't seem darker, nor
shorter, really ,than 
yesterday- or the day before

And I never would've known had I
not paused, and had it come to me - this

Day of all days, honored
in so many ways,now and
long long ago; imagine the

Night dark and lengthening;
the cold impinging
The life-giving light lessening- 

Why, even we 
would have bargained 
for day's return
